...my cup
overflows. - Psalm 23:5
“Look then on
Jesus, the author and preserver of faith:
in complete sinlessness
He suffered, and at the hands of those
who
were His own, and was numbered among the wicked.
As you drink the
cup of the Lord Jesus (how glorious it is!),
give
thanks to the Lord, the giver of all blessings."

"May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest and speed you on
your journey; may He meanwhile shelter you from disturbance of others
in the hidden recesses of His love, until He brings you at last into that place
of complete plenitude where you will repose for ever in the vision of peace,
in the security of trust, and in the restful enjoyment of His riches. "
- St Raymond of Peñafort
